Description

The GE IC200MDL940 is a reliable and robust relay output solution for the VersaMax I/O system. This module provides sixteen (16) outputs with individual isolation between each point. Each output is capable of handling different voltage sources, making it ideal for controlling diverse devices such as solenoids, relay coils, and pilot lamps.

The module uses a fixed coil, moving armature relay design with silver alloy contacts, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance. Additionally, the 10 ms response time ensures quick transitions from Open to Close and Close to Open, meeting the demands of high-speed applications. Moreover, the module supports a maximum switching frequency of 20 cycles per minute when controlling inductive loads.

Each of the module’s output channels has its own status indicator that shows the operational state. The module’s design ensures that there is no output leakage current. Contacts stay open when inactive, eliminating any unwanted current flow.

The GE IC200MDL940 module includes 250 V AC isolation for input-to-logic and 1500 V AC isolation for input-to-frame, providing enhanced protection for sensitive components. Although it does not come with built-in protection, users can install external snubber circuits or fuses if necessary.

Applications

The IC200MDL940 module is ideal for controlling a wide variety of output devices, including relay coils, solenoids, and pilot lamps. Its wide voltage support and high isolation make it suitable for industrial control tasks that require reliable, fast, and secure switching.

Important Notes

The GE IC200MDL940 does not include internal snubber circuits or protection fuses. Users should add external protection if required.
The module requires an external power supply with 0 to 125 VDC, 5/24/125 VDC, and 0 to 265 VAC (47 to 63 Hz) input.
The maximum backplane current is 490 mA, and the module installation is limited to the CPU baseplate slot.
